In this paper, we propose an image encryption algorithm based on four-dimensional chaotic system to generate key and improve advanced encryption standard. The encryption algorithm is optimized by using the pipeline and parallel computing features of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). First, the chaotic system is used as a key generator for the encryption algorithm. Next, in the improved advanced encryption standard, ShiftRows and SubByres are modified with Spin-Sort and Cubic S-Box, and the round of encryption is reduced. We implement the encryption algorithm and the wired image transmission system to the ARM-based SoC-FPGA. The HPS software runs on Linux and is used to control the FPGA encryption algorithm and image transmission. Finally, the results from the encryption security analysis show that the proposed image encryption algorithm is safe and effective.

Fractional-order chaos has complex dynamic behavior characteristics, so its application in secure communication has attracted much attention. Compared with the design of fractional-order chaos-based cipher, there are fewer researches on security analysis. This paper conducts a comprehensive security analysis of a color image encryption algorithm using a fractional-order hyperchaotic system (CIEA-FOHS). Experimental simulation based on excellent numerical statistical results supported that CIEA-FOHS is cryptographically secure. Yet, from the perspective of cryptanalysis, this paper found that CIEA-FOHS can be broken by a chosen-plaintext attack method owing to its some inherent security defects. Firstly, the diffusion part can be eliminated by choosing some special images with all the same pixel values. Secondly, the permutation-only part can be deciphered by some chosen plain images and the corresponding cipher images. Finally, using the equivalent diffusion and permutation keys obtained in the previous two steps, the original plain image can be recovered from a target cipher image. Theoretical analysis and experimental simulations show that the attack method is both effective and efficient. To enhance the security, some suggestions for improvement are given. The reported results would help the designers of chaotic cryptography pay more attention to the gap of complex chaotic system and secure cryptosystem.
